Fuch Refinish advice on a ducktail SC targa - Do polished petals or RSR finish?

I'm leaning towards the RSR finish - less bling, more aggression

I used to be smitten with the matte black look (had an '81 guards red coupe w/blacks), but having seen more and more polished Fuchs, I must say I'm now partial to the shiny look (my '87 guards red coupe is polished).

RSR finish is so purpose-looking. I'd go that route without a second thought!

What colour is that? is that prussian?

Blues seem to look real good with the dual clear/rough anodized look

I am pretty tired of the RSR look as it is becomming overdone; a good alrernative that I will be doing is basically a anodized lip with rough anodized rim with either a black center or paint to match

RSR. I refinished my Carrera wheels and love them. The stock black centers just look very pedestrian to me.

Frost is nice.

I'm running a batch of 7x15's/8x15's/9X15's - 8 sets total in Early Satin Anodize - Excellent look as well!
